Photographyblog reviews the Olympus SP-620UZ and writes;“As the zoom range on the SP-620UZ is comparatively modest at 21x – certainly when compared to Nikon’s 42x P510 for example – we didn’t have too much of a problem getting relatively sharp results first time when shooting handheld at maximum 525mm equivalent telephoto setting. That in itself is commendable, though this is in daylight it has to be noted.”Rating:

High zoom for low budget
“The Olympus SP-620UZ is the kind of camera you might buy if you’re looking for a model with high zoom, but you don’t have the budget for one of the expensive options available out there. It’s certainly a model which you should consider buying, though you should keep in mind the fact that it’s not a perfect model. The performances offered by this camera are quite good and it’s a model that delivers plenty in return for the money you’ll spend on it.” – By Ely ShemerRating:

Its a great buy for your money
“I have taken crisp, clear pictures in the dark, in odd lighting, and in places with flashing strobe lights! I’ve yet to have a grainy picture or odd light quality. Second, the video is pretty darn good for a camera that is now selling for only 100 dollars.” – By schorkbRating:
